A few simple things can make a big impact on the feel of your home.
- It's probably time to change your air filter again. Help your AC function it's best, if you don't have pets, don't spend the extra money on fancy filters. The basic store brand ones will do the trick, and are easier for your unit to pump air through.
- Ceiling fans have a Summer setting. Your fans have a switch on them that changes the direction the blades spin. One direction will push air down (for use in the Summer) and the other direction will push air up (use this in Winter). It's easy to forget to change the direction for the proper season.
- Give your vents a taste of freedom! None of the vents in your home should be covered or blocked by anything – doing that makes your heating and cooling work overtime.
- Invest in a smart or programmable thermostat.
Automating the temperature changes in your home can make sure you have it at the appropriate level - to save you time and money. Research shows that a smart thermostat may be the way to go here.
